Gunboats balance

[NonSequitor]

This is not titeled "how to make your unbalanced BHG Gunship uber"

But yes I had some missiles (2). They are as close to "I win" button as you are going to get.. though you do need to think when using them... not like with gun turrets..."hold the button fire and move it on the (+)" - which very much works with 1400m/s turrets.

Yet as I wrote in another thread the only unbalance I see with GB missiles is that they don't use ammo... so you can mount 6 of them and spam them forever, as I also wrote I used some 20 missiles in that fight... that's just a reminder to the people saying " if they use ammo nobody will use them" in the other thread.

I understand that you are an excellent pvper Mjolnir. So try to understand that all mortals do not share your "skillz". You could probably get good results out of CSV.

In my experiences as an inconsistant pvper, the 2 missle loadout helps if you're up against one or two fighters. If you run into anymore than 2 players in fighters or enemy npcs start swarming you, you are toast. If you run into another gb, you are more than likely toast. Thus missles for me aren't a "silver bullet" or a "I win-button". For what it's worth, I think the infinite missles loadout is cheestastic - i.e. needs fixing. The pilot should have to buy rounds for his missle launchers, just like fighter pilots do.

Incidentally, the BH gs is a veritable cd magnet. The Liberty gb usually gets knocked out of cruise on the 5th or 6th cd impact. The gs usually gets knocked out of cruise on the 1st cd impact.

I am not on a quest to make a ubership. The gs has it's own strengths and weaknesses. If I wanted to make a pwnzermobile, I would just find another server where rp is an afterthought.

As a BH I have 3 choices of gb: the gs, the Orca and (with a bit of contrivence) the Liberty gunboat. Ultimately, I will go with either the gs or the Libby.
